1. What cookies are
Cookies are small text files that a website stores on your device. They allow the site to remember your preferences, understand how you use it, and — where advertising is enabled — deliver relevant ads.
2. Cookies we use
We group cookies into three categories based on their purpose. Below is what each category is used for on this site.
2.1 Strictly necessary
These are required for the website to function. They include cookies that remember your theme choice (light or dark mode) and your cookie consent preference. They do not require consent and cannot be disabled.
| Name | Purpose | Provider | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| cookie-consent-v1 | Stores your cookie preference | rasternode | Persistent |
| theme | Stores your chosen colour theme | rasternode | Persistent |
2.2 Analytics
These help us understand how readers use the site — which articles are read, how visitors find us, and what device they use. This data is aggregated and does not identify you personally. Analytics cookies are only set after you give consent.
| Name | Purpose | Provider | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| _ga | Distinguishes unique users | Google Analytics | 2 years |
| _gid | Distinguishes users for 24 hours | Google Analytics | 24 hours |
2.3 Advertising
If advertising is enabled, the ad network sets cookies to deliver, measure, and (with consent) personalise advertising. Advertising scripts and cookies are only loaded after you explicitly accept advertising cookies via the consent banner.
| Name | Purpose | Provider | Duration |
|---|---|---|---|
| Various | Ad delivery, frequency capping, measurement | Monetag | Per provider policy |
3. Your consent
Under the Digital Personal Data Protection Act, 2023 (DPDP Act), consent must be free, specific, informed, and unambiguous. We have designed our consent system to meet this standard.
- Free — you can choose to accept or reject non-essential cookies without any detriment.
- Specific — you can give separate consent for analytics and for advertising.
- Informed — this page explains exactly what each cookie does.
- Unambiguous — non-essential scripts remain blocked until you take a clear affirmative action.
You can withdraw your consent at any time — just click Manage cookies in the site footer and toggle off the categories you no longer consent to.
4. Managing cookies
You can also control cookies through your browser settings. Each major browser provides instructions:
- Chrome — Settings → Privacy and security → Cookies and other site data
- Firefox — Settings → Privacy & Security → Cookies and Site Data
- Safari — Settings → Privacy → Manage Website Data
- Edge — Settings → Cookies and site permissions
Disabling cookies may affect site functionality — for example, your theme choice will not be remembered.
